Ethiopia, officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a country in East Africa. It shares borders with Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Sudan. The capital city is Addis Ababa, which is located in the central part of the country. Although Ethiopia is close to the equator, it has a temperate climate due to the high altitude of the Ethiopian Highlands. The country receives an average amount of rainfall, mainly in July and August.
